Alkimos Vista

A place to belong


Introduction to our Design GuidelinesThe Alkimos Vista Design Guidelines will help you design and build a home that will make an important contribution to the character and visual appearance of the community. Following the guidelines will ensure that your home together with others in your neighbourhood creates a diverse and interesting community for residents and visitors alike, and positively contributes to the long term value of the development.

The Design Guidelines contain the principles agreed to by LandCorp, and Lendlease who have partnered to deliver the exciting new community at Alkimos Vista. The Guidelines are divided into two parts, the Residential Design Guidelines (Part 1) and the Landscape Design Guidelines (Part 2).

Part 1 of the Design Guidelines – Your Home The Residential Design Guidelines (RDG) are to be read in conjunction with Local Development Plans (LDP), formerly known as Detailed Area Plans (DAP), that are administered by the local council, the City of Wanneroo. A LDP aims to support the vision for Alkimos Vista by varying the deemed-to-comply requirements stated in the Residential Design Codes (R-Codes). In April 2016, the WA Planning Commission released an appendix to the R-Codes for medium-density housing (R-MD Codes) intended to limit the use of LDPs to sites with particular development constraints and/or opportunities. It is important that you and your builder understand both the RDG and the R-and R-MD Codes to ensure that the design for your home complies with developer requirements assessed by Lendlease as well as the statutory requirements assessed by the City of Wanneroo.

Part 2 of the Design Guidelines – Your Garden The Landscape Design Guidelines complement the RDG and provide an overview of the front garden design solutions that are available for Alkimos Vista residents as part of the landscaping package described in Annexure B of the Contract of Sales. These designs have been prepared to respond to the climate of Alkimos Vista and help achieve the sustainability targets set to minimize the environmental footprint of the development.

Compliance with the Design Guidelines When you buy a lot at Alkimos Vista a caveat is placed on the title, which means that you must obtain Developer Approval from Lendlease prior to commencing construction. This is to ensure that the design proposed for your home meets the requirements set out in these Design Guidelines.

Compliance with Part 1 of the guidelines is assessed by Lendlease as part of the Developer Approval process while compliance with Part 2 of the guidelines is managed by a landscaping contractor on Lendlease’s behalf as part of the front landscaping package available to Alkimos Vista residents.

This document focusses on Part 1 of the guidelines and provides an overview of Design Considerations as well as a step-by-step guide on how to obtain Developer Approval from Lendlease.

The Developer Approval ProcessThe approval process for building a home at Alkimos Vista consists of three simple steps as shown in the below diagram.

Step 1 - Designing you home | Review the Design Considerations and Smart Home

Considerations outlined of this document (Page 12) and discuss them with your builder to ensure their design complies with the mandatory requirements.

| Complete and sign the Developer Approval application form (Pages 14 & 15)

| Review the colour palette (Page 10) and complete the colour schedule contained in the application form.

Quick Guide to Developer Approval

Step 2 - Submission to Lendlease | Submit your application including all supporting

documents to Lendlease for assessment. Assuming all required information is supplied and the design complies with the requirements set out in this document, approval will be granted within 10 working days. Please note that incomplete applications will not be assessed until all information is received and additional time may be required if adjustments to your plans are necessary.

Step 3- Submission to council | Once you have received Developer Approval, you

will need to obtain relevant council approvals. For information on planning and building approvals, please refer to the City of Wanneroo website.

STEP 2 : SUBMISSION TO LENDLEASESubmit your application for Developer Approval to [email protected]

Please allow 10 working days for new applications and 5 working days for resubmitted applications.

STEP 3: SUBMISSION TO COUNCILOnce Developer Approval is received, you can prepare a submission to the City of Wanneroo

for building permit.


There are three sections to the Alkimos Vista for you to review. Mandatory items are visually highlighted so they are easily identifiable. Alternatively you can refer to Tables 2 – Compliance Checklist of the Developer Application Form (refer pages 16 & 17).

Section 1 - Design Considerations This section contains information on the built form character of your home such as orientation, street elevation, roof pitch and colour scheme. Some of these items are mandatory to ensure that all homes meet the vision for Alkimos Vista, which is informed by the unique setting where the bush meets the coast.

Section 2- Smart Home Considerations In this section you will find information on the sustainability requirements applicable to all homes at Alkimos Vista as well as an overview of the respective incentives available as noted in Annexure C of your Contract of Sales.

Section 3 - Other Considerations The final section of the guidelines invites you to consider items that do not form part of your home such as letter boxes, small garden walls and bin enclosures, and aspects like universal access. While these items are not mandatory, clever design will help you create a home that functions well, now and in the future.

If at any stage you have any queries regarding these guidelines and/or would like to seek independent advice on the design of your home, please do not hesitate to contact the Alkimos Vista team on [email protected]

This section outlines the minimum requirements for your home as noted in Table 2 – Compliance Checklist of the Developer Application Form (refer pages 14 & 15). Lendlease encourages diverse and innovative design at Alkimos Vista and therefore may approve proposals that are not in accordance with the Design Guidelines but exhibit positive community and design outcomes.

01 DESIGNING AND SITING YOUR HOME

7

Garage design and material complement the design of the home. Where possible the garage should be under the same roof as the residence and be designed to break down visual dominance of the garage door(s).

Naturally occurring slope towards street, promotes drainage and creates the opportunity for innovative landscaping.

Homes should either look to be built partly floating above the slope or firmly sitting on a base, in order to minimise construction to landform. Homes must be built to the identified pad level.

Open railings on verandas are encouraged. Solid veranda walls should be avoided unless well shaded. If applicable, veranda rails shall not be more than 1m high. Glass panelled doors that open from

indoor spaces into the veranda are encouraged. Homes need to provide a direct visual connection with the street.

Designing & Siting your home

HOW TO USE THIS DOCUMENT DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS


Orientation of your homeLike Alkimos Beach, the new Alkimos Vista community is located in Climate Zone 5, which is defined by dry, hot summers and wet, cold winters. Good design considers passive solar design principles that respond to these conditions to suit the orientation of your lot.

In winter, the midday sun is positioned low on the horizon and can provide a natural source of heat, provided it can enter through north-facing windows. In summer, the sun is positioned low on the horizon during the morning and afternoon, adding unwanted heat to your home, if permitted to penetrate east and west-facing windows.

Consideration should also be given to natural ventilation to improve air quality and thermal comfort within your home in the summer. During that time hot winds generally blow from the east until lunchtime, with cooler south-westerly winds occurring from mid-afternoon onwards. South facing windows are well suited for natural ventilation during the afternoon to relieve your home of hot air and create internal air movement that improves the comfort of your home.

A combination of passive solar heating and passive cooling is desirable and can reduce your energy consumption by up to 40%

PLANNING YOUR HOME FOR CLIMATE AND COMFORT

The design shall allow the potential to plant at least one tree at both the back and front of the house.

North facing windows should have Eaves (0.6 times the height of the window) or be protected by vertical louvers or other devices that enable winter sun penetration but exclude summer sun.

The home should be oriented so that main internal living spaces have north facing windows. Courtyards should be located on the north side, to maximise access to winter sunlight.

Shading to outdoor areas should maximise the balance between shading windows in summer and allowing winter sunlight access.

3m

1.5m

WINTER SUN MIDDAY

East and west facing windows should be shaded in summer. Substantial awnings or screening planting should be provided.

SUMMER SUN AFTERNOON

4.5m

SUMMER SUN

MORNING

A veranda, portico or balcony style shaded area is encouraged between the home and the street. Where used to justify the garage not being setback behind the home, the portico, veranda or balcony must meet the minimum dimensions required and be located completely forward of the home.

You must comply with the necessary requirements within the Detailed Area Plans including site setbacks, building height, location of ancillary services and garages.

The design should maximise opportunities for cross ventilation through all parts of the home.

An ideal location for bedrooms is to the south, this maximises the potential for cross ventilation and helps protect them from harsh morning and afternoon sunlight.

Planning your home for climate and comfort

Appropriate orientation of your home will ensure that you:

| make the most of the local climate and winter sunshine

| increase the thermal comfort inside your home all year around

| reduce your energy consumption and associated costs

The Australian Government has released a comprehensive guide called ‘YOUR HOME – Australia’s guide to environmentally sustainable homes’ which is available for download from the below website. A hard copy of the document is available for viewing at the Alkimos Vista Sales & Information Centre.

http://yourhome.gov.au/passive-design

| All homes at Alkimos Vista must have outdoor living areas that face to the North. (Not applicable to homes facing North to the street.)


Set-backs and Building HeightsSet-backs determine where your home can be situated in relation to the lot boundaries such as to contribute positively to the visual appearance of the street. At present Detailed Area Plans nominate the set-back you need to maintain, depending on the type of lot and its location within the Alkimos Vista community. Under the new R-MD Codes, set-backs will apply based on the residential zoning of the lot, unless varied by a Local Development Plan (LDP).

The front set-backs at Alkimos Vista are intended to enhance the character of your community and allow for a landscaping strip at the front of each lot for terraces, balconies, and entry porticos. You will need to consider the following mandatory conditions.

| Verandas and porticos are encouraged and may be located within the 3.0m set-back area.

| Homes are required to maintain a minimum 3.0m set-back to the front boundary (averaging not permitted) unless noted otherwise on LDP.

| Garages must be located a minimum of 0.5m behind the dwelling or a minimum of 1.0m in front of the dwelling, provided the garage complies with the set-back conditions of the R-MD Codes.

| Where a triple garage is proposed, the second garage door must be set-back 1.0m behind the principal garage door.

Secondary Street frontageDwellings on corner lots are required to address both primary and secondary streets to enhance the streetscape and provide passive surveillance.

The secondary street elevation needs to have a suitable level of detail and include elements such as windows and roof overhangs, which are consistent with the primary street elevation.

| The colour scheme of the primary frontage façade must extend for at least 4.0m meter of the secondary street frontage.

A Primary frontage treatments continued 4 metres around corner

B Articulation of roof and walls to secondary frontage

Built FormThe term “built form character” refers to the look of the homes and other buildings constructed at Alkimos Vista. The built form of your home will make a significant contribution to the visual appearance and long-term value of the development. You can refer to the Glossary on page 13 for further information of the elements that make up the built form of your home

Some elements of the built form are more prominent than others and conditions are in place to manage their impact on the streetscape. All homes at Alkimos Vista must address the following built-form criteria

Proposals outside of these conditions may be considered where they complement the architectural intent of the home and contribute positively to the streetscape. Approval is at the discretion of Lendlease.

| Comprise of eaves to a majority of the front façade OR a combination of eaves and porticos or verandas. For this to be considered, porticos and verandas will need to be located completely forward of the home.

| Have a hip or ridge roof with a pitch of no less than 24 degrees and no greater than 35 degrees. OR a skillion roof with a pitch of no less than 8 degrees and no greater than 15 degrees. OR a flat roof with a pitch with a minimum roof pitch of 2 degrees. The roof must be concealed by a parapet wall such as to restrict visibility from the street.

The Alkimos Vista Design Guidelines will help you design and build a home that will make an important contribution to the character and visual appearance of the exciting new community being created at Alkimos Vista. Following these guidelines will also ensure your home, together with those of your neighbours, create a diverse and interesting community for residents and visitors to enjoy for many years to come.

Colours & MaterialsLendlease encourages a neutral colour palette including the use of materials derived from natural components such as brick, timber and stone cladding, and recycled materials for landscaping, such as recycled brick and railway sleepers.

All homes at Alkimos Vista must provide details of the selected colour scheme at the time of application to ensure compliance with the criteria outlined below. Any significant variation to these colours will need to be justified on architectural merit and approval will be at the discretion of Lendlease.

Surfmist (L) Shale Grey (M) Dune (M Windspray (M) Wallaby (M)

Classic Cream (L) Paperbark (M) Evening Haze (M) Cove (M) Gully (M)

Roof Colours Examples (Recommendations)

Selecting a light or medium colour will also reduce the amount of incoming solar radiation and may help you save energy.

Roof Coverings | Roof coverings must be of a neutral colour. Bold colours such as red, blue or green are not permitted.

Garage Doors | Garage Doors must compliment the colour scheme of the dwelling or comprise a timber look finish. Bold colours such as red, blue or green are not permitted.

Feature Elements | Feature Walls or minor elements such as gutters, windows, and chimneys may comprise bold colours but must complement the remainder of the dwelling.

Visible fencing at Alkimos Vista is being kept to a minimum to achieve an open and natural space that supports the intimate character of the neighbourhood.

A complimentary Fencing Package is provided to all homes at Alkimos Vista and typically consists of a 1.80m high, visually non-permeable metal fence.

The extent of fencing may vary between lots due to their orientation, shape and type. Fencing will typically be installed to the side and rear boundaries only as fencing forward of the home is not permitted. Exceptions apply to irregular shaped lots where additional fencing may be installed at the discretion of Lendlease.

You will be required to submit Annexure B of the contract prior to handover to allow sufficient time for works to be scheduled and completed. We encourage you to review the Fencing Design Guidelines prior to submitting Annexure B and familiarize yourself with the rights and obligations. To do so, please visit our website or contact our team on [email protected]

Fencing

Services equipment such as air-conditioning units and ancillary fixtures such as clothes lines can have an adverse effect on the streetscape and must be appropriately located such as to not be visible from the street.

The below options are intended to help you find a suitable location for these items that does not distract from the overall street appeal. Lendlease may request retrospective screening following completion of the home in cases where building fixtures are visible from the street.

Ancillary Elements & Structures

| Place air-conditioning units and water tanks a minimum >1.0m behind the building line that is furthest away from the primary street

| Install satellite dishes and antennas at the rear of the roof

| Place solar panels such as to maximize solar gain. For lots with North elevations facing the street, solar panels may be visible from the street

| Hot water systems with roof-mounted tanks are permitted, provided that the tank is not visible from the street.

| Letter and planter boxes must complement the remainder of the dwelling

Section 2 - SMART HOME CONSIDERATIONSThe sustainability initiatives outlined on the following pages have been carefully selected to ensure that your home design is smart in regards to its energy and water consumption. By implementing these initiatives, your home will be more comfortable to live in, conserve energy and water and thus be cheaper to run and maintain.

Alkimos Vista has been planned to comprise a large number of North facing lots, allowing you to apply passive solar design principles when designing the home. Speak to your builder about how you can achieve an energy rating that exceeds the national minimum 6* NatHERS rating mandatory for all new homes. Other initiatives at Alkimos Vista include:

| A comprehensive sustainable living program for residents

Energy Smart Electricity costs are on the rise and we are committed to help you minimise your energy consumption as much as possible through an initiative called Energy Smart intended to help you:

| Apply solar passive design principles and make the most of the sun

| Select energy-efficient heating and cooling options

| Install energy-efficient hot water systems and solar panels

| Monitor and manage your electricity consumption

| All homes at Alkimos Vista are required to be connected to a solar PV system.

To assist you with the associated cost, LandCorp and Lendlease are providing each home owner of Alkimos Vista with a complimentary Solar Panel rebate. The incentives of the Solar Panel rebate may vary but typically include a $2,500 cash rebate for solar PV systems.

Please refer to your Contract of Sales for the inclusions of Solar Panel rebate applicable to your home and ensure that the items listed therein are considered when building your home. The costs may vary among suppliers and we encourage you to obtain quotes from a few different suppliers or ask your builder to include the items in their scope of works.

Once installed, you can submit Annexure C of the Contract of Sales and Lendlease will arrange for the payment of rebate into your nominated bank account.

Water Smart Water has become a scarce resource in Western Australia due to declining annual rainfall and a growing population. The Water Smart initiative focuses on the conservation of water in your home and garden to maximise water efficiency and help you save money. You can easily reduce your annual water consumption by >50,000 litres by being smart with the sanitary fixtures and landscaping you chose for your home.

Water-efficient sanitary tapware is readily available and usually comparable in cost to standard types. We recommend that all homes meet the following the Water Efficiency Labelling Scheme (WELS) ratings in accordance with the national Water

Efficiency Labelling and Standards Act 2005.

| 5* WELS tapware to the Kitchen, Laundry and Bathrooms

| 4* WELS toilets to all WCs

| 3* WELS rated shower rose with a maximum water consumption of 7.5L/min

Landscape SmartYour garden is an extension of your home and you can adapt it to suit the way you live and thus enhance your quality of life. The Landscape Smart initiative focuses on water-wise garden designs that are responsive to the climate and locality of Alkimos Vista. It is designed to help you establish a low maintenance garden that will be beautiful for years to come.

A complimentary Front Landscaping Package is provided to the front garden all homes at Alkimos Vista and you can select from a range of designs to suit your home. The extent of landscaping may vary between lots due to their orientation, shape and type, and your preferred plant selection. Our contractor will assist you with finding a design that meets the mandatory requirements for front gardens outlined below.

| At least 20% of the area is unsealed to allow for water infiltration

| Majority of plants are native to Australia and drought resistant to reduce water consumption

| Every detached dwelling has a mature tree to help establish tree-lined streets

| Natural turf is installed to no more than 80% of the planted area to reduce water consumption

| Synthetic turf must be 100% recycled and water-permeable to allow for infiltration.

In order to receive your landscaping, please submit Annexure B of the contract prior to handover of your home to allow sufficient time for works to be scheduled and completed. We encourage you to review the Landscape Design Guidelines appended to these guidelines.

Additional Tips for being smart with water outside the home

| Install a reticulation system with a Smart Approved WaterMark label

| Reduce your reticulation run time to 2 minutes a day and switch it off during winter

| Install a rainwater tank to help water your garden

| Cover your pool to reduce evaporation

You can also refer to the Water Corporation website for further information.

This section includes best-practice ideas that exceed the mandatory requirements at Alkimos Vista but that may contribute to increased standard of living and value of your home.

AdaptabilityIn order to create an adaptable house and garden that will suit your needs today and in the future, think about how your lifestyle may change over time. Will you need more space for children and/or a low-maintenance garden?

You could also consider the potential requirements of future buyers. For example, given our ageing population, you may want to ensure your home is accessible to people with limited mobility. Speak to your builder about how this can be considered in the design of your home.

Safety and SurveillanceThe way a community looks and feels has an important influence on the perceived sense of security within the community.

In order to make Alkimos Vista a safe place to live, your home design should have a direct visual connection with the street and include at least one major window that faces the primary street. Providing a verandah to the front of your home is another option to enhance the streetscape.

Privacy and ViewsViews and privacy are important considerations for the design of your home. The design guidelines generally permit you to enjoy views across the neighbourhood, especially from front verandas. In turn, this means you will need to think about how you maintain your desired level of privacy from those who overlook your property. Orienting outdoor spaces away from overlooking windows and outdoor spaces is recommended. When siting your home, consider that an elevated position may compromise the level of privacy in favour of expansive views.

Communications The information and communication technology infrastructure at Alkimos Vista is designed to respond to the growing use of technology in everyday life and to allow for advances in this area. This infrastructure, often referred to as Fibre to the Home (FTTH), caters for the delivery of phone, internet and television services, including free to air and pay TV. It will also be capable of supporting a range of other services, such as security, energy monitoring and home automation as these become commercially available.

In order to take advantage of this technology and connect to the available communication infrastructure, it is important for your builder to provide the appropriate conduit and cabling interface between your home and the street. The relevant information can be found on the below website of the communication provider Opticomm.
